Nyonin-do (Women's Hall)
女人堂Wakayama · Kansai
The last surviving of seven halls that once stood at Koyasan's mountain gates, where women were required to stop and worship from a distance during the centuries when they were barred from the sacred precinct until 1872. It sits at the Fudozaka entrance on the northwestern edge of the plateau.
